Strisglng Barbed Wire.

The following from correspon tent
Of the Ohio Farmer may be of interest
to those who building barbed wire
fences: Just how to string barbed
wire for ience-making has always per
picked me. have tried all sorts of
plans but now have hit method that
that works perfectly. The spool of
wire is placed on end at the first post
The little end of crowbar is put down
through the centre holes of spool
and struck into the ground far enough
to hold. A horse is then hifched te
to the wire, and pulls it aio Z he line
of the fence to the far end. 1t un-
winds readily, and it IL surprising
what long string Of it horse can
pull without much exertion. The
friction of the end of the spoil on the
ground keeps il from lnsi ding fss.sI
than the pulling of the wire demands
and there are none Of the dangerous, ,un.
friendly scratches Of the wire that are
encountered, when the attempt il
made to carry the spool by hand te
string the wire. 1t beats the plan oi
putting the spool on q sled,
to unreel, and does not re-
qulre any mechanism to do 1t.

The DRAFT HoRsEsoF FRANCE. -
While some people in America call all
horses imported from France Norman.
it is fact that there is no breed in
France called by that name by the
French people the name, Norman,
therefore, is pur-ly American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Roullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced
of all French races, and all depart
ments of France 60 to the Perche for
stations To improve Their local breeds.
The Percheron Stud book OF France
published under the authority of the
French Government, is the only stud
book of draft horses that is or ever has
been published in France, and now
contains The prdigrees Of about 5000
animals. hut some importers are of

furnished at the request OF American
buyers by the secretary OF one Of the
French Agricultural societies, who
says there is no intention of publish
ing them in stud book form, rs they
have no pedlgrees and are OF no value
whatever. 1t is a well known fact that
what man gives for horse over frori
$500 to $800--the price If good
grade-ls paid for purity Of blood; and
where the seller is not able to give the
recorded pedigree of the animal sold
as evidence Of additional value, he has
no right to ask 1t. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will
buy horse imported from France un-
less he is recorded 1lth his pedigree
in full in the Percheron Stud Book Of
France.

A Forge tten Incident OF the Early Can

A little "out of the ordinary" is the
following extract from the Toronto
Globe:
II is one Of the almost forgotten eur.
sites Of early Canadian history rha,
about the year 1868 France actually
undertook to supply its discharged
soldiers aud other citizens who had
settled in Canada. with wives to order
ard on scale bc6tting its own mag.
pihcence. Ships were chartered and n
consignment of several hundreds of
uemoiselles was shipped from the
mother land for the choice aud delec-
tation Of the sturdy adyenturers who,
having at length conquered peace
from the fierce Iroquois. were now in
position to cultivate their own assigned
asres and sit down by their swn peace
full firesides. Imagination falters in
the attempt to depict ths curiousity
and anuisty with which the arrival Of
the vessel bearing the precious freight
would be awaited by the expectant and
eager bachelors, If indeed they were
permitted to know beforehand Of the
benriicsnt designs of the Government
or the peculiar shaps the royal bounty
was about to assume. What a thrill
must have flashed along the banks Of
the st. Lawrence when the advertise.
msnt was actually published that
large number of candidates for the
matrimonial market had reached the
Canadian shores and that "such as had
the means of supporting a wife should
have their choice" We can fancy the
growing excitement a. the avant cour-
isrs, charged with the weighty news,
went from village to village and from
house to hause to spread the novel An
nouncement. We can see IN our
minds eye the living streams of pill
grims, tnkIng their rise in the remote
huis Il the dense forests and pouring
forth in ever-swelling volume toward
the place of rendezvous, as the anees
tors of the habitants hurried forward,
eager to try their fortunes, or esulting
ty anticipation in the enjoyment +
ihe proffered boon.
So far as it appears the hundreds +
imported ladies' must have stood fosih
with unveiled faces and with IA safa
semblance of calm which oniy ~em

after minute, or hour after hour, for
her turn to come, or perhaps as she
found herself forced to decide, in rery
brief order, between the conflicting

seen before. and in regard to whose
previous history aud present character
she WAS wholly in the dark, save so
